The Scouting Report

The Wildcats women’s gymnastics team has vaulted into the regional championships every season for 26 straight years—longer than any of its members have been alive. In January, the squad sets out to continue that streak with its first home meet of the season: a showdown against the Oklahoma Sooners, ranked third in the country according to preseason coach’s polls.The Wildcats enter the new campaign ranked 17th. They once again follow the lead of head coach Bill Ryden, who has guided the Wildcats to the regional championships in each of his 15 seasons at the helm.

University of Arizona Wildcats

Over the years, the University of Arizona’s athletic teams have been linked together by one phrase: “bear down.” Now the official battle cry of the Wildcats, those were the dying words of an iconic student-athlete, John “Button” Salmon, who died in 1926 after a car accident. Since then, the phrase has stood behind countless milestone moments, such as when Lute Olson, in 1983, became the 11th head coach of the Wildcats men’s basketball team, setting off a string of 25 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances—including a national title in 1997. Several other national titles belong to Arizona outside the hardwood, including four from the men’s baseball team and eight from the women’s softball program. Every fall inside Arizona Stadium, the Wildcats football team rouses up to 56,000 fans with hard-hitting Pac-12 showdowns, by far the most popular event on campus behind the linguistics department’s weekly phonetics bee.
